Am I Really The Only One????
 

Am I the only one that hates strawberries???? The Mrs. just told me that I am the only person she knows of that doesn't like strawberries, and I've had others tell me that too. Is there anyone else out there that thinks they are hairy and gross? I cannot stand the smell of them or the feel either. I get heebie-jeebies just thinking of them. Anyone else????

I don't like strawaberries either.

Woo hoo!! A comrade in the war against strawberries!:thumbsup

I like blueberries better ,but I love Pecan pie.

Lol...Poor Sis. Sherri...did I give you a complex??? :ursofunny

I have heard of people not liking tomatoes. Does that help? :laffatu

I don't like those either, unless they're cooked and blended up into puree or tomato sauce. Maybe it's an aversion to red foods; has to be something psychological!:nod

If it makes you feel any better... my sister in law hates them. Probably because they make her break out in hives.... :D


I Love Strawberries!!

Can't wait till I can find some reasonably priced this year to put in the freezer.

I think Darryl Strawberry was a terrible pitcher.....

1/2 Gallon size at Costco was down to $5.99 lastnight.

I find it amazing our fruit in California is grown in Central America. Our best oranges- Australia.....

Funny, My oldest daughter hates them. I made her eat one once and repented later realizing she really did hate them.

Despise them ... but love them in those frozen fruit bars .... cant explain it.

When we were in Costa Rica last year, we found out that they are the largest exporter of West African Palm Oil!!! Isn't that crazy?

You must just hate the texture, which I think is just awful too. Strawberries have zits!!!

Pickles that is something I dearly love to eat , dill pickles .

You are right ... have you ever tried them in a frozen fruit bar ??? Dole has some good ones ....

I can't imagine a better fruit than strawberries!!!!!

I think we need a thread to find out what other foods people can't stomach. I HATE peas. And potatoes. And beans. I like green beans. But those things that are mushy - ewwww yuck!! Not eating those. No way. No how!

Sherri "HATES" strawberries. Scott "dislikes" them. Can we analyze personalities with these morsels?

NOOOOOO.....I can't stand the smell of anything strawberry! I don't like strawberry jello or anything. For me, it's not just the texture, although that's gross enough. It's the whole idea. I feel hive-ish just sitting here typing about them.:heeheehee

In fruit oranges are great.

It's a highly spiritual thing. Strawberries are evil; some just don't have proper discernment.:lol :lol :lol

Hate is too strong of a word ,for me dislike is more politcally correct.

Grits are evil ,yuck .

I love any kind of peas and beans; I think I could live on beans and rice. I love any kind of potatoes too. I can't imagine life without potatoes!!! Do you not even like potato chips or french fries??

Compromiser!:lol

Scott you are a kind man.... even when considering the lowly strawberry.

I'm liberal on this one.:ursofunny

I love them.

It might be that your parents gave them to you a too young of an age.

PRUNES I hate those.That is a runney food.

I like potato chips (unfortunately!!!!), but I'm not especially fond of french fries. I will eat fried potatoes if they are very, very brown. But I only eat the brown part. I hate anything that goes mush in my mouth.

Bro Scott, they're not runny going in........ :killinme

I don't like eating raspberries. I love the flavour so I like raspberry sauces and jelly but I hate all the little seeds, can't stand biting down on them. :)

I love strawberries!

Don't you hate those strawberry seeds, or whatever those black thingies are???? I love raspberries and blackberries, but I do hate the seeds.

Strawberry seeds are so tiny you don't even know they're there. Raspberries are different though. The seeds are larger and hard - crunchy. Can't stand them at all.

I don't mind blackberries though. The texture of blackberries is a little different.

OK the strawberry thread is officially airborne.

They ARE hairy!!!! I don't eat things with stubble.

My son has an abundance of allergies. His allergist told us a long time ago that if he (or anyone) doesn't like a certain food, we should not force it on him. It is very likely that his body is telling him that he is allergic to it.

He hates peanut butter and/or peanuts. He's only tasted it twice in his life. Both times he spit it out without swallowing. Still he ended up with a severe allergic reaction both times. In fact, the second time, we had to have the Squad take him to the hospital. On the way they had to give him 3 shots of Epi. At the hospital they gave him Benedryl via IV, Ventolin in a nebulizer, oxygen, and MORE Epi.

Now he hates peas. When I talked to the allergist about it, it turns out that peas are in the same family as peanuts and if you are allergic to peanuts, it is highly likely that you will also be allergic to peas.

So, Sherri, who knows? Maybe you have some sort of allergy to strawberries and you don't even know about it because you hate them and so refuse to eat them.

Hmmmm.....could be. I'm not going to try one to find out!:lol

Stubble?! :heeheehee

Ever tried a mangosteen???

I don't think there's any better fruit in the world!!! :thumbsup
